Cangxi structure in Sichuan

It means that one result of natural gas exploration may be the largest natural gas field in China.

Sinopec has discovered a gas field with extremely rich reserves in Cangxi County, Guangyuan, which has been listed as the number one project in Sinopec's 11th Five-Year Plan. Yesterday, the reporter rushed to Yuanba Town, Cangxi County to find out.

Drilling 7000 meters to find super-large gas fields

In Group 3, Feng Liang Village, Yuanba Town, you can see the towering derrick of "Yuanba 1 Well" (referred to as "Yuan Yi Well" for short) from a distance. Pipes are everywhere, machines are buzzing, staff keep coming and going, and everything seems orderly and calm. The staff told reporters that since drilling began on June 5 last year, the drilling depth has reached 7090 meters, and it is planned to drill down more than 200 meters. At present, good oil and gas show has been encountered, and it is expected to enter the gas test stage in early April. By then, the reserves of gas fields can be calculated more accurately.

When the reporter asked about the possible gas storage capacity, a person in charge who asked not to be named told the reporter that according to three-dimensional seismic exploration, the "Yuan Yi Well" reserves in Cangxi gas field alone are much more than those in Puguang gas field (editor's note: Puguang gas field is located in Xuanhan County, Sichuan Province, and it is the gas field with the largest proven gas storage capacity in China). It is understood that the senior management of Sinopec has high hopes for "Yuan Yi Jing" and has visited Cangxi many times. "Yuanyijing" has been listed as the number one drilling project of Sinopec.

In addition, Sinopec has arranged for a wider 3D seismic exploration in Cangxi County, covering almost all towns and villages in the county, covering an area of 65,438+0,000 square kilometers. In this regard, Zou Jin, secretary of Cangxi County Party Committee, said in an interview, "This is something that our 780,000 pear township people have been waiting for for a long time, and the people of the county must go all out to do a good job of cooperation".

Predicting reserves may be too optimistic.

Last night, a person in charge of the Northeast Sichuan Command of Sinopec Southwest Petroleum Administration Bureau accepted a telephone interview with our reporter on the related issues of Cangxi gas field.

The person in charge said: "Sinopec and the state attach great importance to this project." Sinopec now focuses on exploration, but there is no clear plan for the exploitation and utilization of gas fields. "It's a little early to say this." "If it is finally determined that there are really large reserves", it will be of great help to solve the energy shortage problem in China and even the world.

The person in charge said that the predicted reserves of Cangxi Yuanba gas field reached an astonishing 5 trillion cubic meters, "it seems a bit high at present". According to him, the ongoing exploration work will end in the first half of this year, when the approximate scale of the gas field can be predicted, but it will take a long time to finally determine the actual reserves. He also said that this year's gas field investment is expected to be about 6,543.8 billion yuan. He denied the rumor that 70 billion yuan will be invested next year.
